State Retirement Pensions: Women

Asked by Dr Luke EvansConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 9 October 2024UIN 5376

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 22 July 2024 to Question 33 on State Retirement Pensions: Women and with reference to the report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman entitled Women’s State Pension age: our findings on injustice and associated issues, published on 21 March 2024, what steps her Department is taking to consider the issues in the report.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

Work is ongoing to consider the Ombudsman’s report and the views that have been expressed on all sides including the recommendations made by the Work and Pensions Select Committee and the points raised by representatives from the WASPI Campaign who I met on the 5th of September.

Once this work has been undertaken, the Government will be in a position to outline its approach.
